I ordered this online and paid way more. Saw it in my local store for $799 and they had a few in stock. So of course I purchased it. It took my guys about 3.5 hours to put it together (they are professionals) and it looks amazing. Highly recommend and if you can get it in store DO IT! This Pergola is excellent quality and will last! I’m very happy with my purchase!

Took a while to find one in stock at my local Sam's club, but jumped on it when it came in. Took it home, and immediately applied waterproofing to all of the boards prior to assembly. The next day, after everything was dry I assembled the whole pergola on my back deck in about 4 hours, then moved it into position and used some different brackets to secure it down. It has transformed my back deck and we will be spending a lot more time outside because of it.

This took 4 people approximately 6 hrs to put together. The paper instructions were lacking. The app could not find the exact model. With that said, one board was cracked and one piece of hardware was missing. Still, would buy again because it looks great and the price was right.

If you're thinking about buying this pergola, think again. Poorly made. Very unstable after put together. If I have it a good shove I'm sure it'll all come down. Also a lot of the top pieces, the purlins, don't match up. Some are cut too short so there are gaps. I was thinking about building my own but saw this in sale and thought it be great but was wrong.

Bought about a month ago and finally got around to assembling it; took two people five hours.Tip: We laid out all the pieces on the concrete porch and labeled them with blue tape and a sharpee. Some pieces were scratched- we touched up with Valspar exterior solid stain in the color classic mahagony. Then used a water based spar urethane in clear satin (varathane indoor/ outdoor) to seal the finish. P.S. After construction, we decided to add a pitched roof (metal) and attached to house- will add lights later.

We were looking to buy this pergola 2 years ago from Sams CLub when the price was $799.00....in 2022 the price rose to $999.00. Being a craftsman, i could have easily made a project out of this pergola, but in today's world, i'm sure if i would have bought the wood, screws, stain, etc myself...+ my time and supplies...that it would have equaled the cost! Overall, the unit went together easily - one person could do it with some sawhouses and supports, but erecting the unit was definitely a 2 person job. The instructions were clear and the pieces labelled inconspiciously. Overall, a very nice accent to out yard!

It is sturdy, comes with all the parts, does not have good assembly instruction, in fact, they are not useful at all. They give you a link to scan, you have to add an app to get it to work and it still is not much help. We went to Sam's and shot close up pictures and went from those. The wood is soft as cedar can be and there are several damaged areas from packing that we needed to touch up (paint stick or stain not included) The box wasn't damaged so it had to be during packing. Not all the holes line up so have a drill ready. They say it is a two person set up but that must be their guys with experience. The last steps are impossible for 2, even 4 people. After assembled you are supposed to lift it, put it in its mounting feet, draw around that, drill holes, set with screws and then lift it back in place. I believe the delivery guys said it weighed 900 lbs and it is at least that. IMPOSSIBLE for two people to lift. Ours isn't secure until; we can get a bunch of people to help. However, once assembled it is beautiful, sturdy and just like the pictures. It needs better instructions written and a video. I would buy another if we ever needed it now that we know how to assemble.

is awesome! I did have to replace a part and got someone on the line in 60-90 seconds! A real person. They had me send them my receipt to register me and withing an hour the part was shipped. I had it the next day. The instructions are good but I'd revise them. I seal the wood first thing. I used Thompsons Timber Oil in cedar. Next I'd anchor the feet down after step 4. Why wait until you have all of the extra weight on it? If your feet are directly on the concrete I'd opt for shorter concrete screws. Make sure everything is level plumb and square. I believe I could do another in less than 5 hours but I used a cordless screwdriver. I think this is a good value for the money and am happy with my purchase.

I bought this pergola which looks very nice, but the wood is heavily damaged after AIT WorldWide installation the company that installs these for Backyard Discovery. After several emails, I still have not resolution to who is going to fix the cap that fell off. Both companies are asking me to reach out to the other. A few pictures of the quality and installation attached.

This product is very sturdy and the wood is of excellent quality
